In questo episodio andremo alla scoperta della millenaria civiltà perduta del regno di Funan, situata tra Cambogia e Vietnam attuali, una cultura legata in modo indissolubile ai grandi cicli delle acque e delle stagioni che dominano questi territori. Parleremo di fiumi che scorrono al contrario, di cattedrali orizzontali, di popoli che seppero integrarsi perfettamente con le forze della natura, e della loro città più importante, Angkor Borei, che in antica lingua Khmer, significa Città Antica. In un subcontinente che visse enormi sconvolgimenti climatici fin dall’inizio della cultura umana, e che è intimamente legato al ciclo dei monsoni, Angkor Borei prosperò per oltre mille anni, grazie ad un patto rituale con il grande fiume Mekong fatto di equilibrio, rispetto e alleanza, e che ancora oggi può darci una preziosa testimonianza di come l’uomo possa creare grandi centri vitali in armonia con gli elementi senza tentare di imporsi sulla natura, ma attraverso una rete di controllo e organizzazione basata sulla fluidità acquatica invece che sulla rigida dominazione terrestre.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
